In a game that saw a combined 15 points in a hideous first 2 1/2 quarters, the Giants turned to Tommy DeVito as their QB.
Tommy who?
DeVito is a New Jerseyan, having played high school ball for the fabled Don Bosco Prep.
He then went to Syracuse from 2017-21 before finishing his collegiate career at Illinois.
He was undrafted.
In 39 college games, DeVito threw for 6,516 yards and had 43 touchdowns against 16 interceptions.
DeVito scored a TD on a 6-yard run to give the Giants a lead at MetLife. He scored a rushing TD before completing a pass, going 0-for-4 before the score.
Tommy DeVito’s first NFL TD gives the Giants the lead!
